Artist Statement:
I set up the pear still life using tin foil, paper and books. I wrapped the tin foil around a book and leaned it up against another book. Underneath the pears I put a white piece of paper to create a simple environment so the focus of the photograph would be on the pears. I think the pears represent simplicity to me. The pear itself is a very ordinary and simple object. But when you incorporate it into a still life with other pears it is able to much more dynamic and complex. |
